What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Today

B: veggie/pork egg frittata. Casserole thing. Whatever it is coffee

Great kettlebell group training session, followed by some running and rowing intervals then protein shake.

I forgot/didn't have time for lunch.

S: ham, banana

D: Argulla salad, ham. Wine and 85% dark chocolate

[Crankin]

B: I made the mistake of giving into a craving for oatmeal. Bad choice, because despite the fact I added walnuts and some almond milk with blueberries, I was hungry about 30 minutes later. Never again.
S: 2 dried apricots before a very hard step and sculpt class
L: veggie wrap (whole wheat) and a cup of chicken soup at a restaurant
D: stuffed 1/4 of a butternut squash. The stuffing was the inside of the squash, spinach, ginger, mushrooms, with a topping of toasted quinoa flakes and panko. side of roasted broccoli, half a glass of red wine and 2 squares dark chocolate

Crankin, the oatmeal might work for you if you add in a significant protein source, like perhaps some sausage? Walnuts don't have that much...

[Veronica]

Have you tried making an oatmeal egg white pancake?

Veronica

[Crankin]

That sounds like something I would like. I'll have to investigate

[Veronica]

They're pretty easy. I use the same amount of oatmeal as egg whites, mix it in a blender. I add a little bit of maple syrup and some cinnamon. It cooks up like a crepe and then you can put whatever you want on them. I like peanut butter. They can also be wrapped and eaten as a portable snack later.

I shouldn't be reading this when I am hungry.

[Catrin]

That is usually a bad idea Crankin

Today (full rest day)
B: breakfast frittata/casserole, coffee
L: roast chicken thighs, steamed carrots
S: Coconut manna and a few pecans, stuff is quite addicting!
D: Salad with different types of lettuce, fermented veggies, ham, small amount of home-made mayo as dessert. Small banana for dessert

Tomorrow morning I am heading out early for a road trip, so will hit my home kettlebell herd for a workout first thing. I am unaccustomed to working out BEFORE eating, we will see how that works out - it just streamlines my schedule if I do it that way. I am enjoying being able to follow up with my KB coach's training suggestions at home as well as at the gym. Starting already to train for a competition early next year. I've a long ways to go, but I am really enjoying myself! REALLY enjoying my new coach's style - he is much more like a mentor than a drill sargent. He also knows when to pull me back so I don't hurt myself. THAT is why I need to work with professional peeps!
